 * I installed pretty link lite to be able to forward post premalinks to external
   url.
    I installed and set a new link but there is no change in the original link,
   it still takes you to the original link page not the external url.
 * Please advise,
    Thanks

 * It does not override your posts permalinks, but it is meant for shortening, tracking,
   etc of your own affiliate links from other merchants.
